For the sixth year, Brazil IT, the Brazilian IT services technology initiative supported by SOFTEX (Society for the Promotion of Excellence in Brazilian Software) and APEX-Brasil (Brazilian Export and Investments Promotion Agency) is sponsoring the Gartner Symposium / ITXpo event.
“Brazil was not an IT destination because our internal consumption was too big. With the acquired business expertise and the commitment on getting the job done, Brazilian companies are conquering the world”, states Robert Janssen from Outsource Brazil (www.outsourcebrazil.com.br)
Brazil IT has also created a new market niche inside Gartner events: the Country Pavilion. Brazil IT initiative proved so successful that other countries followed suit. When Brazil IT started at the ITxpo Fall 2004, IT exports from Brazil reached a little more than 300 million dollars. Today Brazil is the eighth largest IT market in the world, and IT exports are bound to achieve 3.5 billion in 2010. As Glaucia Chiliatto from Softex said, “The Gartner Symposyum ITxpo is a great event to sponsor. It has all the high level buyers’ decision makers together with the analysts, the de facto opinion makers in IT”.
In these 6 years Brazil IT has brought to Orlando almost 50 different companies. For 2009, eleven were selected:
